Can't I develop my own character?

On the other hand, those who became her enemies were already frightened from afar.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Gluck.

"Captain, Lord Ryan has issued an order for the Iron Blood Legion to temporarily join Miss Shirley's command."

It was Bloody Clothes, coming with Ryan's orders.

"Let her take command?" Gluck's first reaction was to refuse, because only Iron Blood Warriors could command the Iron Blood Legion. But when he saw the blood mist and 'Charlie' fighting in the blood shadow, he seemed to see Maganna in a trance.

Grand Duke!!

Looking back at the Grand Duke!!

"Everyone, follow me!" Gluck shouted, "Follow Miss Shirley!"

Obviously, Xia Li's extraordinary level is not as high as his, but Gluck knows that some people are born for the battlefield!

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

The blood mist became thicker and thicker, almost covering the entire rear stronghold of the Caint Army. The soldiers who turned back to provide support were stunned when they saw the blood mist spreading before their eyes.

Looking at the blood mist, they subconsciously felt fear and were unwilling to go deeper.

When the flames of the fire began to rise into the sky, the commander of the Kainte army realized that he had to save the food and supplies as soon as possible. "Don't be afraid, don't be frightened by these things. Brave soldiers of the kingdom, kill them! Charge in!"

Four thousand people rushed into the blood mist. The commander's plan was to first meet up with the remaining team. There were still more than three thousand people left there. Together with the number of soldiers he had, there were more than seven thousand in total. How could he lose?

But after he rushed into the blood mist, he felt more and more that something was wrong. The thick mist seemed to be suffocating, and there seemed to be something strange in the blood mist, which was madly stimulating his brain nerves.

“Don’t…don’t come over here ahhhhhhh!!!”

Suddenly a soldier in the rear screamed in fear.

The officer turned around suddenly, but found nothing.

No, something's wrong... Where are the people? Where are the Kainite soldiers guarding this place?

The fire was still burning, bright red like blood. Wait! This is blood!!

The officer looked at the burning supplies, which were covered in blood. Corpses were piled on the ground, and blood was flowing like a river. Countless souls of the dead in the battle were rushing towards him with their fangs and claws.

The wronged souls pounced on him and began to bite his hands, feet, body and even head.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Pfft~~

The sharp sword blade instantly cut through his body, splitting him in two!

With a look of fear still on his face, he fell down and in a trance saw the fierce battle going on in the back - the 4,000 people he brought with him were now surrounded by the Royal Guards and the Iron Blood Legion.

"Why..."

The thoughts of unwillingness and incomprehension were fleeting, just like his fading life, but under the influence of the blood mist, his blood and soul were absorbed into the battlefield.

...

[You have comprehended the 'war domain'.]

[War Domain lv1: Each time an enemy is killed, the damage of all team members increases by 0.01%. This also provides a mental boost to those around you, significantly boosting team morale while also exerting mental pressure on the enemy. This effect only works on the battlefield.]

"Oh my god, amazing battlefield skills!"

Looking at the skill description on the game interface, Ryan was also stunned. This was not a skill that 'Xia Li' learned after changing her job, but a skill she had figured out on her own.

The source should be the fighting on the battlefield, one's own understanding value and a little bit of luck.

Ryan remembered that comprehension in the game could help the character learn additional skills, but in most cases it would speed up skill proficiency, and occasionally, on the basis of the original skills, the character would comprehend more powerful ones.

For example, the Blood Knight's 'Bloodthirst' skill, if advanced, becomes 'Bloodthirsty Assault', which not only absorbs blood but also has additional strengthening effects.

It's rare for someone to directly grasp a new skill like this.

But I have to say, it’s awesome, really fucking awesome!

Don't underestimate the small value, this is a buff for everyone! And 0.01% for one person, killing a thousand people is 10%. After a war, that's a lot of trouble, right?

Not to mention the range-based mental suppression, so in Ryan's eyes this thing is truly a magical skill!

"As expected, the Blood Knight class was born for war... but it could also be due to the blessing of the chosen one."

Although the Blood Knight in the game is at the T1 level, it is far less impressive and the game has many restrictions, so the protagonists basically have no chance to fight in the battlefield.

"The outcome is set."

With the cooperation of the Royal Guards and the Iron Blood Legion, the 3,000-man team, with the blessing of the war field, was almost one-sided.

Although the Blood Knight is powerful, he is not omnipotent. However, when the Blood Knight's skills are combined with an Iron Division, they can produce effects beyond imagination.

The iron-blooded heavy armor tore apart the enemy's corpses, and the Royal Guards were equally unwilling to be outdone. Stimulated by the blood, the battle turned into a massacre of wolves catching sheep. The fear accompanied by death left a shadow in the hearts of these Cainites, making their fighting will weaker and weaker.

Ryan turned his attention to defending the city. Next, they just needed to continue defending it. The east and west gates could not be opened. In this situation, it was meaningless to force an attack on the city. Three thousand people could not break the gate guarded by fifteen hundred people, not to mention that there was a row of cannons waiting.

In fact, if the Caintes had focused on one location from the beginning, mobilized all the extraordinary people and then attacked with the entire army, regardless of casualties, it would have been unlikely that the Berman City would have been able to resist.

Cannons also have their limits. No matter how strong the barrier of the city gate is, it cannot stop a group of extraordinary people from attacking with all their might. At most, 3,000 people will die before the city gate can be broken open.

By that time, it wouldn’t matter even if the food and grass were burned. With more than 10,000 troops rushing into the city, wouldn’t there be supplies everywhere?

All we can say is that the other party wanted to use tricks to reduce losses, but ended up falling into a passive position.

The collapse of the battle at the Kainte stronghold became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the siege soldiers. The originally planned scene of the city gate opening did not happen. They could not break through the gate of Berman City by themselves, not to mention that Ryan also sent investigators to destroy almost half of the cannons.

Seeing that the siege was hopeless, Officer Cainte finally gave the order to withdraw.

"Ryan, we've got it!"

Casladi rushed over from the east gate. The Cainte army attacking the east gate had to evacuate earlier. Most of the attacking extraordinary people were killed by her. She stayed for a while to make sure that the attackers would not appear again.

At this time, the princess stood on the city wall, looking very excited.

"Yes, hold on. Besides, their food supplies have been lost, so it is unlikely that they will continue to attack." Ryan hesitated whether to launch a pursuit, but finally gave up.

There was no way. His soldiers could barely defend the city, but if they wanted to go out of the city and fight head-on, they would be no match for the Kaint army.

Moreover, the army suspected to be the second prince's lurking army has not yet appeared, and the crisis in Berman City has not been truly resolved.

"I never expected that. Fortunately, Ryan, you purchased so many cannons in advance to defend the city." Casladi sighed. "Miss Xia Li is also very impressive. She actually burned the food of the Kainte people. How did she do it?"

He is clearly only at level two, but how come he becomes a different person once he gets to the battlefield?

"By the way, where's Charlie? How's she doing?" Kasradi asked. "The Cainte army is retreating. Be careful not to get caught up."

"It shouldn't be..."

Ryan opened the game calmly, and then the expression on his face immediately became strange.

"what happened?"

"Oh no, it's just..."

'Xia Li' did not withdraw her troops, but was on her way quickly with the Royal Guards and the Iron Blood Legion.

What is this going to do?

Ryan did not interfere with 'Charlie's' operation. The AI ​​was idle, the eternal god. He would only interfere when he had nothing better to do!

However, Ryan didn't expect that 'Charlie' would give him such a big blow.

After the Cainte army evacuated, at the battle summary meeting that evening, Ryan received news from the Fire Covenant investigators:

"Reporting to the Princess, Vice Captain, Miss Shirley led an attack on the Kainite encampment. Conservative estimates suggest that over two thousand Kainite soldiers were killed in this attack! The Kainite army has evacuated to Kosothoa. Investigator Cage said he heard Miss Shirley give the order..."

"Give orders, what for?" Casradi was stunned.

"Army attack!"

"???"

Chapter 74: Level 3 Xia Li! Xia Li: I want to seal the Wolf's Lair! [6k5]

Jonathan smoked a whole cigarette but couldn't figure out what the guy had just said. What did he say?

"Isn't this amiss?" the old leader was a little confused. "Doesn't she only have 3,000 men? Mayor, are you sending more people to support her?"

In public, Jonathan had to call Ryan "Mayor".

Ryan shook his head: "No, she only has 3,000 men. No, it should be less than 3,000. There were also some casualties in the previous battle."

"That's it. Those Kainte men still have over 10,000, right? With such a huge difference in numbers, how dare she launch a surprise attack? And actually succeed? And she still needs to continue the full-scale attack?"

"Jonathan." Casradi coughed lightly, signaling the director to pay attention.

Although, what Jonathan was asking now was actually what she was thinking.

She even suspected at one point that the message being conveyed was also contaminated and turned into false information to provide them with wrong information.

But Ryan knew it was true, because he had just confirmed it again and again - it was dark, the wind was strong, and 'Xia Li' was leading her men to attack overnight.

"Ms. Charlie is amazing." 'Vine' took a sip of tea and remained calm.

The secretary general standing next to Ryan, Miss Ina, also nodded: "This is incredible."

Jonathan made a tactical fade away.

No, can this be explained by sheer power? Aren't your reactions a little too calm?

"Captain Shirley is truly worthy of her title. Her heroic performance is worthy of emulation by all of us soldiers!" Under the conference table, the city defense commander, Robert, suddenly said, "Your Highness, in light of Captain Shirley's outstanding performance, I propose that she be given command of the city defense forces from now on!"

Ryan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Robert's command ability is not excellent, but his ability to read people's expressions is much better than that of ordinary people.

"Lian, what do you mean?" Casradi's eyes turned.

She wanted to promote 'Charlie', but the latter was Ryan's person. Although the subordinates of her subordinates were also my subordinates, 'Charlie' was a little special and would not listen to anyone's orders except Ryan.

"I have no objection, but I feel Major Robert has been wronged."

"I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged," Robert said sternly. "Of course, this is for the development of Berman City. Those who are capable should be promoted to help Her Royal Highness the Princess. I don't have that ability, so this is the only way I can do it."

Casradi chuckled, "Major Robert, I see your loyalty."

There are many nobles like Robert in the empire. She doesn't have any thoughts about them, but she is afraid of those who are incompetent, lack self-awareness and have no sense of propriety. She doesn't mind beating such people to death with a stick.

At this time, Jonathan couldn't help but say, "This isn't the time to discuss this, is it? Xia Li only has less than 3,000 people. Should we support her? Or should we let her come back?"

"Lian, what do you think?" asked Casradi.

Ryan pondered for a moment. "Since Charlie has given the order to attack, it means she's confident. We're not clear on the situation, and issuing a rash order would affect the outcome of the battle. Since you've chosen to trust, then don't question it. So... Major Robert, after the meeting, assemble your team, secretly transport supplies, and follow. Be careful not to reveal your whereabouts. Your mission is to ensure logistics, not to engage in combat with the enemy."

When Rob heard Ryan ask him to assemble the troops, his heart almost stopped. He didn't have the courage to lead these new recruits from Berman City to fight against the Caint army... Fortunately, it was logistics work.

"Don't worry, Mayor. Logistics are what I'm best at!"

"As for the frontline, I'll leave it to Chief Jonathan to ensure timely updates of intelligence."

"That's...okay."

Jonathan's idea was to quit while he was ahead. Since the Cainte army had retreated, there was no need to continue fighting. It was not advisable to pursue a desperate enemy. With their strength, they were simply not enough to support a national war.

In fact, he still had some opinions about the empire. Although the old emperor bestowed the three cities in the southern border on Casradi, which seemed to support her in the battle for the crown prince, the subsequent operation and management would depend on Casradi herself.

But the attack by Kainte’s army means an invasion by an enemy country. There should be some response within the empire, right?

He even sent the message back to Zhuhuo headquarters to request support, but the news he got was that the old emperor had no such intention.

fall!

Believe it or not, I'm quitting this job!

Alas~ No matter what, the big guys are concerned about the overall situation and don't care about such petty fights... But such petty fights are already unbearable for many people of the empire.

...

After the meeting, everyone went back home and looked for their mothers.

The city defense must continue to guard against the return of the Cainte army, so 'Vine' will have to stay here for two days. In order to win over the imperial viscount, Casradi specially invited her to have lunch tomorrow, and also invited Ryan.

Her idea was to take advantage of the opportunity and spend more time with him. Who knows, maybe he will fall in love with Ryan?

Although Ryan is still a commoner now, he has real power. She will apply to her father later. It's just a viscount title. The emperor should not be stingy, right?
